State Plumbers Convention at the Tacoma Hotel, on May 18, 1940. Group of men and women seated outside the "New" Tacoma Hotel on "A" Street. The entrance canopy had been salvaged or copied from the original Tacoma Hotel across the street which burned in 1935. This was the 45th annual convention which attracted about 150 master plumbers to Tacoma. The plumbers association promoted stricter plumbing codes to aid public health and sought more research into new plumbing methods and fixtures. A.E. Warren of Spokane was president and G.A. Weber of Tacoma the secretary/treasurer. (filed with Argentum) (T.Times 5-18-1940, p. 6-article only)
